    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Now we are getting off of what I know well... the Scriptures. And we are getting into church history that I do not know well. So I would enjoy learning all that I can from you on this subject. Here's my take and I could be dead wrong on this history. Ready? I tried to trace the Catholics back as...

    Is God sending people straight to hell when they die, today?

    I doubt anybody came out of graves after Jesus was resurrected. Some scholars even say those verses were added to the text.

    Is it possible not to sin anymore?

    God does not change, but the gift of God’s holy spirit that believers have today is different from the spirit that God gave in the Old Testament, and so the gift of God’s spirit has changed.

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    You don't make any sense when talking to me and you accuse me of saying and thinking things that I do not. And there are many. Like this one... "I see you make no difference between the past law of Moses for the OT saints, and the present law of Christ for His NT saints." Where in the heck...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    During the persecution of Christians by Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor from 161 to 180, Irenaeus was a priest of the Church of Lyon. The clergy of that city, many of whom were suffering imprisonment for the faith, sent him in 177 to Rome with a letter to Pope Eleutherius concerning the...

    Is it possible not to sin anymore?

    I have been writing for a couple of years that we cannot sin when we walk in Christ. The verse in 2 Corinthians 5:21, is talking about the "righteousness of God in him." It's the "in him" that nobody seems to be able to understand. This whole thing functions "in him." It's in Christ and...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    The concept of the original sin was first alluded to in the second century by Irenaeus, (Bishop of Lyon) who was working for the Catholics and not for the apostle Paul. Some two hundred years later another church father who went by the name of Augustine, (Bishop of Hippo) whose writings shaped...

    Is the Logos meaningful, or meaningless? - Depends on your view of Logos.

    Jesus Christ is not a lexical definition of logos. The verse does not say "In the beginning was Jesus." The "Word" is not synonymous with Jesus, or even the "Messiah." The word logos in John 1:1 refers to God's creative self-expression... His reason, purpose and plans, especially as they are...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Have you noticed I have never been nasty to you or attacked you personally? I have never told you or implied that you were ignorant or that you should learn how to read the Bible better or that you should read before speaking or any of the other negative insulting ways you have treated me. Wise...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    They had no pope in power but they had Bishops. Here I will give you one... The concept of the original sin was first alluded to in the second century by Irenaeus, (Bishop of Lyon) who was working for the Catholics and not for the apostle Paul.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Because I do not agree with what they believe. Nor do I understand it. Thus, I would not know where to begin to try to unravel their religious concepts.

    Is it possible not to sin anymore?

    The subject matter that I thought we all understood is not any written laws. But what was suited only to Israel under "The Law" that is also called the "Mosaic Law" that terminated when Jesus Christ died.

    Is it possible not to sin anymore?

    What Paul talks about in the seventh chapter of Romans is what occurs to the believer who still thinks the Law applies to them. They end up spiritually dying by the commandment and realize that the commandment does not produce life. The war is with their flesh because they are still believing...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Only in your mind is it hate. In my mind it is not.

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    If you will not read what I believe that is written elsewhere then I will post it here. I don't understand the difference as to where you read what I believe. Here or somewhere else. The Greek word hamartano, for "sin" is translated into English as "sin" which means to miss, failure, aberration...

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Whatever anyone was saying about what went on in the 2nd century were not talking about the Christian doctrine. They were talking about the Catholic doctrine and practices.

    What is the initial evidence of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit?

    Your historians and instructions from the 2nd century are all about the Catholics and not the Church of God. And if you're Catholic. Then I will have to end this conversation.

    Christ's sinless Head with a sinful body?

    I started reading this post to see if you knew anything that I did not since I'm interested in this subject. I even looked up every word for "sin" in the New Testament and then wrote about all of them in one night. Yeah, I'm that good. But, I could be wrong. Perhaps missing something. Lord knows...
